CMTA is excited to announce the opening of our new office in Chicago, located in the iconic Willis Tower. This strategic expansion marks a significant milestone in our firm's growth, positioning us at the center of a major economic hub and reinforcing our commitment to serving clients across the Midwest. More than just a new location, the Chicago office represents the next step in enhancing our national reach and advancing our established expertise in high-performance, sustainable building engineering.
Chicago’s prominence as a center for both national and international business presents a unique opportunity for CMTA. Establishing a presence in the city allows us to deepen relationships, collaborate more closely with leading architectural partners, and better support clients across the region.
CMTA’s Chicago office will collaborate closely with our New York and Washington, DC teams, creating a unified platform across three of the nation’s most influential markets. This strategic alignment strengthens our presence across the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast, expands our reach in mission-critical and advanced manufacturing sectors, and positions Chicago as a key hub for targeted growth while enhancing our ability to deliver high-quality engineering solutions to an evolving client base.
CMTA is a recognized leader in designing high-performance K-12 and healthcare environments, and our expansion into Chicago will only amplify our impact in these critical sectors. With a deep understanding of how buildings influence student performance and patient outcomes, our engineering approach prioritizes creating spaces that promote wellness, improve indoor air quality, optimize natural daylighting, and significantly reduce operating costs.
Our work in the region has already demonstrated the transformative impact of our engineering approach. At North Chicago School District 187's Forrestal Elementary School, CMTA delivered an energy-efficient replacement facility designed to meet military safety and security criteria while fostering a healthy, modern learning environment. Similarly, for Acadia Healthcare’s Montrose Behavioral Health Hospital in uptown Chicago, we led a full renovation that transformed an aging structure into a cutting-edge, energy-efficient healthcare facility within an accelerated 14-month timeline.
With the opening of our new Chicago office, CMTA is well-positioned to support clients in shaping resilient, efficient, and impactful environments for communities in the region and beyond. Our presence in Chicago solidifies our position as a firm with coast-to-coast capabilities, prepared to tackle complex building challenges for clients nationwide. We are confident that this new office will allow us to strengthen our legacy of engineering excellence while forging new partnerships and expanding our reach.
